profile witness coming to testify so far. we'll talk more about what that might say about the justice department's criminal investigation, how far can. go also, late today president biden went in on the central figure in thursday's january six hearing. >> so, it happened. the capital police, d. c. metropolitan police, other law enforcement agencies were attacked and assaulted before our very eyes. speared, sprayed, stomped on, brutalized. and lies or lost. and for three hours, the defeated former president of the united states watched it all happened he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the oval office. >> as for the committee, it apparently is not waiting until september either. today elaine lori, released a new video clip that shows the former presidents unwillingness to include in the speech on january 7th, language holding the mob that he invited, incited, and wanted to join.

>> do you recognize what this says? >> it looks like a copy of a draft of the remarks. >> okay, and as you can see throughout the document, there is lines crossed out, there is some words that added in, do you recognize the handwriting? >> a looks like my father's handwriting. >> in my view, immediate to express very clearly, that the people made a violent act, went into the capitol, did what they did. should be prosecuted. and should be arrested. >> it looks like here that he crossed out that he was directing the department of justice to ensure all lawmakers

are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, we must send a clear message, not with mercy but with justice, legal consequences are swift and thurman. do you know why that you wanted that crossed out? >> i don't know. >> and that needed to be stated. >> they did not represent, him or his political views. and any form or fashion. >> they also crossed out, i want to be clear we don't represent me, you don't represent our movement. do you know why, he crossed that language out of it -- ? >> i don't know. >> those are the votes of jared kushner and ivanka trump, claiming ought to know why those words were cross out. the simplest possibility of course, the president, former president crossed it out

because he did not agree with that. he didn't want to say it. he knew the implications if he did say it on his supporters. at thursday's hearing, you recall the select committee showed a former president reforming life using to prevent read another line saying the election was over. he didn't believe that it was. and still doesn't to this day. we can hear more along those lines tomorrow when he returns to washington for the first time since leaving office. he'll be giving the keynote speech a think tank staff by former administration members. a source next to the select committee, one priority is the secret service text messages from an around january six. his committee members zoe lofgren today. >> well, i don't know, here's the facts on january 16th secret service received a letter signed by committee chairman, this is before the j 6th committee existed. telling them to preserve all the evidence. 11 days later, they erased it. so, that's problematic. >> congresswoman lofgren endorsed these remarks by liz cheney over the weekend about compelling testimony from ginni thomas, right-wing activist and wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. >> he's a committee planning on

talking to ginni thomas, even though her lawyer has expressed a reluctance to cooperate? >> we are. the committees engage with our council. we certainly hope that she will agree to comment voluntarily. the committee's fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena. if she does not. i hope that it doesn't get that, i hope she will come in voluntarily. >> ginni thomas, you remember repeatedly correspondent with and white house chief of staff mark meadows, and trump's lawyer john eastman who's pushing what became the former president's game to overturn the election. so, talking to her with all that could entail what lies ahead for the committee impossibly -- also ahead, the criminal grand jury in jersey probing the former presidents meddling there, to new developments to tell you about on that tonight. we have new reporting as well on the dark cloud hanging over, the fact that a recent poll 70, percent of republicans now believe some variation of this dangerous thing you're about to

hear. >> trump has told lies about the election. he said he didn't really lose. do you think all the lies about the election are damaging for american democracy? >> you believe you lied? >> do you not? >> no, i do not. i think he won. >> so, breaking news new york times or wall street journal now reporting that greg jacob, former general counsel to the former vice president also appeared last week before the grand jury. as cnn's donna lowell sullivan, talking to those two people will learn more from his report ahead in this hour. first, let's go to ryan noble at the capitol. ryan, what more can you tell us about jacobs and martin short's testimony before the grand jury? >> well, anderson it clearly means the department of justice investigation into the election meddling, by donald trump and his associates is expanding in a big way, both martin short and greg jacob are to please players.

when they began the cooperation with the johnson select committee it opened a door into the whole line of pressure that was put in vice president mike pence. during that period of time, provided insight into the push to have pence stand in the way of the certification of the election results on january six. efforts to get him to accept a false slate of electors, there's so many different connections that pence's office has to the attempts to stand in the way the election of being certified for joe biden. the fact that jacob and mark short who are both very cooperative with the committee and told, a lot about what they knew during that period of time. it also would indicate that they've showed the same level of cooperation with the department of justice as well. so, this is absolutely significant, it shows just how serious the department of justice is taking. things as their investigation speeds up in a major way. >> do we know what lori released today instead of including in the airing last

week? >> we do. it's basically because the committee just has so much evidence, they don't have enough time to pack them all into these public hearings. more than 17 million people watched on thursday night, the hearing only lasted about two and a half hours. i'm told that as they plan the, earrings, a first dress rehearsals, the initial hearing could've run as long as four hours because they had so many cannot -- they believe was necessary to share with the american people. as a result, they still have a lot that didn't make it into the hearing that they will release at different points. adam kinzinger released kind of a preview to the hearing on that day, and none of that contact was actually in the hearing itself. we saw this from -- today is a good chance we'll see more examples of this in the days ahead. particular in the month of august where the committee plans to do most of its work behind closed doors. we should expect them to release this type of content and evidence as they lead into these next round of hearings

that'll take place and so. ever >> ryan nobles, we appreciate it, from -- cnn's chief legal analyst and former federal prosecutor jeffrey toobin. greg jacob, martin short testifying for the federal grand jury, how significant? >> it's a big deal, especially in the big picture. remember, main criticism of the justice department so far has been that they are unduly focused are even exclusively focused on the small fish. the people that are inside the capitol, you know who trespass commit acts of violence, and not focused at all on something and larger offenses, the people closest to trump. this shows that this -- at the white house. plus, are part of at least three of the most important areas of inquiry. once the pressure on mike pence to violate his oath and stop the certification of the election.

the fake electors scheme and the effort to corrupt the justice department. they know about all of that, the fact that the justice department is now, has those people in the grand jury suggest that that's what they're investigating. >> this is no question, the justice department, do they need to re-interview before a grand jury everybody who testified before the january six committee, or the main players? will they not just take the testimony that was keeping under oath by marc short, to the january six committee? >> they could. they could just use that testimony in the grand jury. the issue with the grand jury is at some point, presumably, they're gonna be asked to issue indictments of some what -- they need to have evidence on which to base those indictments. hearsay evidence is admissible underground jury, they could go play the videos of the depositions, from the january six committee.

but prosecutors usually want to see what this is for themselves. they may not ask exactly the same questions as those -- >> would they have to subpoena mark? short he said earlier today that they did. they're willing to subpoena someone as former high-level as marc short? >> it shows they're serious, that's why today is so important this grand jury testimony is so important. it shows the justice department is not just focusing on the small fish. whether there will be indictments of people up to and including president trump, i certainly don't know that. but, there certainly would be indictments of the people like -- merrick garland, no person is above the law, you can look at it and it puts it into sharper focus. >> and ran juries investigations are by

definition secret, the only reason this came out -- short coming out of the courthouse. we don't know, who exactly testified in the grand jury. but, the fact that they are there, -- >> we don't know, won't know until either someone breaks it or charges are filed, how far advance they are in their investigation. >> no, the several ways you can find out. you can see people physically see them going in and out. all the reporters know which of the grander, individuals can say that they testify. but whether the grandeur he issues an indictment are not, that's almost never known until it happens. >> if there is investigation continues, and there's a new president, and that president opponents a new head of the department of justice. does the investigation automatically continue? >> it certainly doesn't attic automatically continue. now it can continue. the cusp of the justice department with career peopl e

is that in the stations continue from one administration to the next. but certainly the leadership will change, and i think if donald trump is elected president in 2024, the odds of this investigation continuing in any form like that i would say is remote at best. >> i appreciate. it perspective now on this in the bigger picture for that we're joined by new york times column is thomas friedman, including the classic from beirut to jerusalem. tom, last time we spoke with right after cassidy hutchinson 's testimony. he said the truth of no value if we cannot act on the truth. does marc short, greg jacobs testifying before a federal grand remaking believe the truth may be acted upon? >> yeah, anderson, we watch every day now as you see not only very senior farmer officials stepping on and

testifying. i would also point out, the editorial in the wall street journal and the new york post, rupert murdoch's two flagship newspaper's, saying that donald trump wasn't worthy of being president again. i think that's very important. and they cited the january six committee. that's a direct connection between saying this is truth, that's revealed by this committee, leads to this action, this man is unworthy of ever being president again. i think it's a very important. >> it's interesting that has occurred. intellectually you can make the argument we'll look, a lot of the information that we saw the timeline, what the president did on that day was more or less known. there was something about the sheer weight of hearing after hearing, well organized where the countries confronted, for those who watch, confronted day after day, session after the session. with the granular aura of what occurred on that day, and the

run up to it. >> yeah, i think that's what it. is it's the drip, drip, drip of truth. of which we need to think every day liz cheney for having the courage to step. up and make albeit in a small way by a bipartisan committee there's something about her relentless approach to this, unblinking and willingness to put the truth. it's affecting a lot of principle, moderate republicans which i think from the wall street journal. you take 10, 15% of the party where they represent, and you basically tell them, and they act on that trump isn't worthy to be president, and the party

has a real problem. you see people acting on the truth, anderson, and then vice president pence basically, his speech is a critique of his former boss and pardon. they're all sort of stepping out here. i don't know where the dam is gonna burst, but one day, not a mid rodney or cheney, one of the senators will step out and say donald, time for you to step aside. >> we will hear later from some of the former president's supporters who still believe the lies that the election was stolen despite all the evidence to the contrary. daniil sullivan has this enviable task of asking these questions time and again. can any of that be -- is that valuable? can it be changed? russ to baked in? >> i think i've always felt >> i think i've always felt that a lot of the people who supported trump didn't really care that much about trump. --

more than they have focused on trump. i think we do have to ask, that's so deep into his career, how is it that a significant number of people, despite all of the evidence, still see donald trump as a brick they want to throw it through a window? why do they feel that way? it is that window? what is that brick? as reporters, we do have to keep asking that question and not just dismiss this. at the same time, i take sucker in the fact that people in the wall street journal and the new york post are basically saying, no, that's the truth, and the truth compels action, and the action is that this man is unworthy of being president. >> so many people in the senate in the house are claiming they're not even watching the hearings. i think scott said that on fox news. the idea that they're not, but the idea that they don't care enough to watch or just want that is an excuse, that could distance them selves, these are

significant hearings. >> oh, a, i doubt they're not watching -- i'll tell you one thing, anderson, it read the wall street journal and the new york post. they know where their bread and butter is from. they know which media a need in order to be reelected and i guarantee you, a lot of them today, in the quiet of their conversation, per se, were saying, did you see that editorial by ripper? >> as a rupert goes, the rest of the republican party? >> i think rupert murdoch's media has been so much the house organ of the republican party, and when we watch some of the senators, how frightened they are, if they're criticize by anyone on fox in the new york post of the wall street journal, i think it was a very important break in the dam. i think it just takes 10 or 15%, and suddenly a mandate to declare and worthy of being

president. he will not be able to be president. >> tom, thank you. >> you bet. >> the possibility of issuing a subpoena to the wife of a sitting supreme court justice. and why the select committee is so interested in which she may know. the latest in california. unbelievable images of what it's like in the hottest place on earth in the middle of a global heat wave. a multivitamin alone, you may be missing a critical piece. preservision. preservision areds 2 contains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression.

says helped devise a scheme to try to overturn joe biden's victory? it's unclear which any thomas, so well known conservative activist said to eastman in an email, or she will appear before the committee to try to explain any of that. the committee is also investigating more than 2 dozen text messages ginni thomas sent just days after biden's victory to mark meadows, who is donald trump's chief of staff. >> the 2nd reagan revolution is growing. >> in one text from november of 2020, ginni thomas wrote to meadows, help this great president stand firm, mark. the majority knows biden in the left is attempting the greatest heist of our history. in another, and she seemed to embrace a long held false qanon conspiracy theory that trump had water marked mail in ballots so that he could trap potential fraud. she wrote to meadows, water marked ballots in over 12 states have been part of a huge trump and military white had sting operation in 12 key battleground states. ginni thomas hailstone stid by

committee. he stood up for democracy that day. he's like, i'm not leaving the capital because i need to be here. he was the one that was making phone calls to the military, trying to fix the situation while trump was crying in the dining room. >> even among this crowd there is sympathy for trump's election lies. -- you're about to see, pence speak here trump's not a big fan of him right. now >> i understand, that i hear that he could have not certified the results pending all the claims of fraud. i wish we would've done >> that pence had no legal basis to do that, also among those here rusty bowers, a lifelong republican and speaker of the arizona state house. >> i've been talking to a lot of people here today, they're not watching the january six hearings, they still believe lies about the 2020 election. what's your message to them? >> i have no message for them, i can help them, if you don't

believing you're the one that's wrong are crazy, which i did do thinking i'm wrong i'm being brainwashed. and believe me when someone is telling me but then you go and look the other direction, you find lies, after lies after lies. >> it doesn't matter for was stolen or not? if republicans want to take back the house, take back the senate, and eventually the white house they need to move on. >> i gotta say, the fact that those two did doubt occasionally they said that they were maybe wrong. i think it's a healthy exercise for us all to go through all the time. like, what if i'm wrong. >> the issue of course, when you go online and do your own research, as many folks do. is there is just such a vast array of bs, right. there is some very convincing, a lot of money behind disinformation campaigns to convince people that american democracy -- >> the logic though as you pointed out others 800 people who have been charged, none of them that there is no, the guy was saying we saw the blm antifa people. they didn't, they weren't there. >> why i brought up the

indictments was, that's on paper, right. when i say, why is no antifa or blm and their mind it's not because -- it's because the deep state has decided we're not gonna prosecute antifa and blm. it's a very dark rabbit hole. >> at the pence rally were finding people that bought into the? lies >>, both these events were on the same day, i went to the pence rally in the morning that pence event pence was there to endorsed a candidate who is more pro democracy i guess. she hasn't quite said that she would overturn the results. the point being, pence was there to say, we believe in our democracy even at that event there are some trump supporters who went along with the pants route.

we're saying we don't have trust in american democracy. >> those so-called proud boys, are they applied on the phone discussing what's shirts there gonna wear? >> i think there's a lot of coordination going on, yeah, i almost blended in there in my black. >> you and fred perry. >> i can't in florida. >> well, proud boys. -- i appreciate you. do california's wildfire fry the fury of the flames nearing 70 being called on unprecidented. it plus gary tuchman visits bought a place on earth, which is right here in the u.s. for some it's a way of life, for other it's a risky adventure. be right back. slow you down. because astepro starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. and astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid free allergy spray. now without a prescription. astepro and go.
